Mini Cabrio Diesel Tire Pressure Warning

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check for leaks and actual pressure with a manual gauge – all tires are properly inflated. You mention a 'sensor fault'. Was it also indicated in your error memory, and how did you eventually resolve it? Did you have to replace the sensor?

Okay, since you've already verified the tire pressure manually, it definitely sounds like a sensor issue. In my case, the error memory also showed a fault with one of the sensors. I tried resetting the system, but the light kept coming back. Eventually, I caved and took it to a workshop. They confirmed that one of the sensors was indeed faulty and needed replacement. It's a bit of a pain, but it seems like that's the most likely culprit for you too. Given that yours is showing in the error memory consistently, I'd suggest getting it checked out by a professional.

Just wanted to give a quick update. You were spot on! Took the Mini to a trusted mechanic, and it turned out to be exactly as you suspected – a faulty tire pressure sensor with a dead battery. All four sensors were replaced, coded, and the error is now gone. The whole ordeal set me back around 280€. Thanks again for your help!

That sounds frustrating! I had something similar happen with my Mini, though it wasn't a diesel. The tire pressure light kept popping up, even after I inflated the tires. Have you checked the basics? Like, is there actually a flat tire? Sometimes, it's just a slow leak. It could be a sensor fault, but it's always good to rule out the obvious first. Think of it like checking if the power cord is plugged in before declaring your computer broken.
